刑事準備程序實務的幾個問題

Some Questions of the Criminal Preliminary Proceeding Practice

準備程序之目的在於繼續、計劃、迅速進行充實公判審理，期以當事人之充分事前準備為前提，整理爭點及證據，擬定明確、有效審理計劃，嗣於公判審理程序，在法院適切訴訟指揮下，以明確化之爭點為中心，進行活潑主張、舉證活動，實現效率、效果公判審理程序，可以說準備程序明顯關繫後續公判審理程序之進行。惟須注意的是，準備程序並非事實認定或判斷證據信用性程序，行準備程序時，應儘量避免產生利用該程序形成心證之誤解，致混淆準備程序與公判審理程序之分際。

The main purposes of preliminary proceeding are to continue, plan and facilitate trials. On the premise that both parties already have adequate preparation, this proceeding aims at coordinating issues and evidence and framing effective project for trial. In addition, in the following judiciary proceedings, based on court’s proper instructions and the concentration of explicit issues, the proceeding can be carried out with vigorous claims and burdens of proof and thus can achieve efficiency and efficacy. However, preliminary proceeding is neither for facts finding nor for evidence permissibility determination. The inner conviction should not be created in preliminary proceeding, otherwise it would cause confusion between preliminary and judiciary proceedings.
